Discontinued - CalDigit HDOne
Serious Storage. Seriously Affordable.
The CalDigit HDOne is an eight drive hardware RAID system that features an Intel XScale processor and 256MB of fixed cache. The HDOne supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD, and can reach sustained speeds of 440MB/s with RAID 5 protection. The direct connect external PCIe connection is extremely fast. The HDOne is ideal for users that desire the ultimate in performance on a budget.
Direct Connect
The HDOne uses a direct connection to the latest PCIe technology found in
today's modern workstations.
PCIe allows a throughput of up to 20Gb/s without latency or conversion.
This direct connection makes the HDOne extremely fast, providing a sustained throughput of over 440MB/s in RAID 5.
The HDOne comes with the high speed PCI-Express interface card along with a substantial cable connection for added strength, long-term protection, as well as performance.
The secure latch will also prevent the cable from being pulled out accidentally and ensure workflow is uninterrupted.
Hardware RAID
The HDOne features true hardware RAID, which provides an independent CPU and dedicated
cache memory to manage the RAID volume.
The dedicated processor eliminates additional strain from the host system's CPU, allowing applications full access without
added strain from a software based RAID system.
The HDOne features an Intel XScale processor with 256MB of fixed cache and provides Hardware RAID support for RAID
levels 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD.
Protected
Out of the box, the HDOne has been configured for RAID 5, allowing it to operate even if a single drive fails. To further protect important data, the HDOne comes with RAID Shield. RAID Shield is the configuration and monitoring system that allows you to change RAID levels. For added protection, RAID 6 can sustain two drive failures without data loss, providing dual parity protection.
Generous Capacity
The HDOne includes eight CalDigit certified SATA II drives providing generous speed and capacity. This results in performance that meets the needs of the most demanding software. With an external PCIe connection to the host, the HDOne leverages the latest 20Gb/s ePCIe technology. The HDOne is a high performance storage solution with capacities starting at 8TB.
Smart & Manageable
Each HDOne features an environmental processor that monitors and manages all aspects of the system,
such as the hard drives, RAID arrays, controller cache, fan, temperature, power supply and
enclosure conditions. In the event of a problem, the HDOne is capable of sending out email notifications.
The HDOne comes with RAID Shield, CalDigit's powerful and easy to use RAID administration software. RAID Shield is
capable of building multiple RAID sets on the fly with a variety of options such as: cache sizes, capacities, slices and
a logical unit number. RAID Shield is entirely based on the TCP/IP architecture. This means that each HDOne can be
monitored and managed from anywhere on the Intranet.
Once setup, RAID Shield provides at-a-glance monitoring for multiple HDOne systems either locally or remotely.
Visual Aid
Quickly monitoring the status of the HDOne is easy with CalDigit's intuitive LED indicator lights. The HDOne's indicator lights are conveniently located on the front panel of the enclosure. With just a glance, the user can easily monitor the status of the HDOne. There is also an audible alert signal, a system alert, as well as email notification. For more information, please refer to the "How To section."
ASTT
Active Sustained Transfer Technology (ASTT) was designed by CalDigit's top engineers to provide the ultimate in sustained performance. ASTT ensures that there is always a constant throughput. With ASTT, the performance of your HDOne is always kept in check, ideal for HD video and beyond.
Laptop Support
The HDOne is, beyond doubt, a truly mobile unit. In fact, CalDigit was one of the first companies to include configuration for laptops with its RAID storage systems. Because the HDOne is hardware RAID, it can work with any laptop that has a PCI Expresscard/34 slot with the addition of the eLane-1ex Expresscard/34. Whether you are at home, at the studio, or on the road the HDOne provides the freedom to work anywhere.
Advanced Modular Design
The HDOne has eight hot-swappable drive modules allowing for easy replacement and expansion. This added flexibility makes it easy to archive data. Instead of storing an entire enclosure, with the HDOne, only the drive modules need to be stored. The HDOne also features user replaceable fans and power supply.
